Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces butter
6 ounces sugar
8 ounces flour
1 egg
2 ounces currants
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 large lemon, rind of, grated
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Tips:

  • Use fresh, juicy lemons. This will give your cookies the best flavor.
  • Zest the lemons before juicing them. This will release the most flavor from the lemons.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
